What is this?

[Randle]

I friends Dad passed away and going thru some stuff he found this. Any ideas or real life knowledge of what this might be?

The tip is aluminum and main body is steel

Looks like a 20mm cannon projectile.

Artillery round.

Probably this. My grand dad and father in law had some that were very similar.

The brass band is to grip the rifling

Very neat!

Dont hit it w a hammer or light it on fire.

After some one said 20 mm round I did a google and found this
Thanks

I believe the tip would be threaded so it could be removed to place explosives in body of shell.

155mm artillery round, without tip, and 30mm round. Inert of course.

Pretty sure no 20mm had a driving band. It would be nice to have an idea of scale.
